Dear F0,
I have been religiously following the development of ARC for almost a year and a half. Shortly after I found out about your wondrous project, I realized that doing much more work in RMXP would just lead to more problems. I didn't want to have to reinvent the wheel, then have all that work be redundant, as there are MANY features in ARC that I want to eventually take advantage of. There are also other core features, like the improved Window class, that I really want to use and build my systems on top of. It would be a waste of time to get all that stuff working with XP's crappy Window class and then later have to port EVERYTHING over to ARC's Window class.
Basically, my project has been mostly on hiatus (except for some map design and resource creation) for a 1 and 1/2 years while I've waited for ARC. I personally know how sometimes the HARDEST part of a project is that last little bit you need to finish to make it all worth it. Keep up the great work, but hurry it up, will ya???
